Well, Actually, there are a lot of things that can cause your lips to chap. Normally it also effects the rest of your skin as a dry effect. For instance, Cold air(weather) , wind,sun, Some medications cause drying of skin and lips, such as : accutane, retin a, It could also be hereditary, Sometimes licking your lips will cause them to chap. But it comes down to the fact that the skin there is too dry and the glands thats supppose to keep them moist is not working properly. The most effective treatment to use on your lips is Pure Vaseline jelly, Must be applied constantly, if allowed to dry off or absorb, then lips will chap again. Try not to lick the lips alot. you can also find vaseline in a lip stick, make sure it says vaseline 100% petroleum jelly. chap sticks will not be as good.Blistick(trash it). reccomendation: when using the vaseline, use only glossy(wet) Lipstick(lipgloss) with it. the drying lipstick can prevent the vaseline from reaching the skin. ALso, take vitamin E supplements(helps to moisten skin.What causes severe chap lips? Can anyone help?
You are dehydrated so try drinking more water. Also leave the lipstick off and use just vaseline several times a day until you get this taken care of.
What causes chapped lips is lack of moisture usually in Winter. You need to keep them moisturized. Drink water and a good chap stick or lipstick if you are a woman to keep them moisturized. Dry, chapped lips are not only uncomfortable and unsightly, but they can also invite infection. Restoring the moisture and softness to chapped, peeling lips is a simple procedure. Apply a thin coating of petroleum jelly to chapped lips several times each day.

Quit licking your lips and it'll go away. Try using some carmex on them.
My son had this for quite some time. They would peel and bleed and nothing seemed to help. The dermatologist gave him a prescription cortisone cream which seemed to heal things up pretty good. I believe he also used Aquaphor on the lips for moisture. It may be a good idea to see a dermatologist if it really never gets better.

You just have lips that are more dry than others. i have the same problem, i can not wear lipstick as this just dries them out even more. All i wear is chapstick, i keep it on me. If i am going out somewhere i put chapstick on first then tinted gloss as this dries them out less than lipstick. Dont wear anything execpt chapstick for the fist while so your lips can start to heal. And dont lick your lips it only makes it worse. Buy a pack of 5 sticks and stash them everywhere. this will work if you can keep applying it long enough to see the results. It is a pain but it does work. Good luck and Good health to you
